This jacket was made as a test for several parts. We wanted to see first what this shade of brown on the sheepskin would look like in comparison to the seal brown horsehide trim. The jacket was only worn once, and very lightly. The natural grain of the sheepskin is quite pronounced, and it looks fantastic. The fur color is much lighter than what we prefer, but this was done with sheepskin we can easily get, which has been used on several test models.

The overall fit is very comfortable, especially with this type of sheepskin with a soft hand. Our currently offered sheepskin is both thicker and denser than this sheepskin, but this jacket is just more comfortable right out of the box. The sizing is a standard 46R with no alteration to the pattern.

The Conmar main zipper is quite smooth. Some nickel Conmars were used in WWII, though most were brass. The rest of the jacket details are standard for how we make a B-6.
